Beginning the day at noon, the spotlight is on the highly anticipated game between the No. 4 Ohio State Buckeyes and the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions.

This game is crucial as right now, Oregon remains the only team to hand Ohio State a loss this season.
Meanwhile, the second-ranked Georgia Bulldogs will clash with Florida in a rivalry game at 3:30 p.m. as well. Georgia is expected to have the upper hand following a bounce-back period after a previous loss to Alabama. For Florida, this game could have significant implications regarding the future of head coach Billy Napier, making it a must-watch.
To cap off Saturday night, an important ACC matchup unfolds with the No. 18 Pitt Panthers taking on No. 20 SMU Mustangs. Both teams are undefeated in conference play, adding even more significance to this game as they fight for positioning in the ACC standings.
